American Chrch Lyrics

Sunday morning

It's the place to go

I've heard all about it

Come and see the show

Bright white steeple

Spared no expense

Look at all the people

In their Sunday best

But something's missing and it's not quite right

It still feels empty and I don't know why

I went in healthy and I came out hurt

I was on fire but I walked out burned

I thought I found a home but left there all alone

I see your name in all the smoke and lights

I hear them singing all about your life

But I don't feel you here at all

So help me God

Is this the American church

Tell me now

Is this the American church

I want to know

How'd this happen

What have we done

We've lost our way

Look what we've become

Searching for the answers

To get back to you

I've got a heart full of questions

Lord I need the truth

I went in healthy and I came out hurt

I was on fire but I walked out burned

I thought I found a home but left there all alone

I see your name in all the smoke and lights

I hear them singing all about your life

But I don't feel you in this place

So help me God

Is this the American church

I want to know

Is this the American church

Tell me now

Yeah there's so many different flavors

We've all got our favorites

Butterscotch mint double chocolate chip

Strawberry please yeah add another dip

There's a reason there's a church on every street

Church people fighting over everything

What's right and wrong should we sing another song

Round and round like donkey kong

Could we agree to disagree on the little old things

And keep the main thing the main thing

Because I'm getting sick I'm getting tired

Of playing these games and wasting my time

Oh Lord I know you know we need you more

So here we are here we stand

Let us be your church again

Let us be your hands

Let us be your feet

Let us be your voice your heartbeat

Teach us how to love teach us how to serve all those in need

Let us be your hands

Let us be your feet

Let us be your voice your heartbeat

Teach us how to love teach us how to serve all those in need

I went in hurting and I came out whole

I went in hungry and I came out full

Oh I finally found a home and walked out completely known

I see your name it's being lifted high

I hear me singing all about your life

Oh how I feel you in this place

So help me God

I went in hurting and I came out whole

I went in hungry and I came out full

Oh I finally found a home and walked out completely known

I see your name it's being lifted high

I hear me singing all about your life

Oh how I feel you in this place

So help me God

This is the American church

I know it is

This is the American church
